Problem

α-particles accelerated by

3\times 10^5

volt bombarded a boron target. This results in the nuclear reaction:

{}_2^{4}\text{He} + {}_5^{10}\text{B} \longrightarrow {}_6^{13}\text{C} + {}_1^{1}\text{H} + \gamma

If the combined energy of

{}^{13}\text{C}

and

{}^{1}\text{H}

5\times 10^5\ \text{eV}

, calculate the energy, frequency and wavelength of

\gamma

-rays.

1\times 10^5\ \text{eV}

energy is used in penetrating the nucleus. (He

= 4.0026\ \text{amu}

, B

= 10.0129\ \text{amu}

, C

= 13.0036\ \text{amu}

)
